Windows (Feature Film, Drama)

Saya can’t sleep. The more she assimilates to American culture, the more the relationship with her asylum-seeking parents worsens. Unable to enroll in her college courses due to her status as an immigrant, she begins wandering the city in search of relief. She finds comfort in observing other people’s lives through their windows at night. When Saya is discovered by a homeowner, the chance encounter stirs up tucked-away memories the two must face if they ever hope to truly rest. Currently in Pre-Production.
